Got the office door closed, playing some Mighty Mighty Bosstones (currently Someday I Suppose off of their Don't Know How To Party album), and configuring the dozen or so phylogenetic trees I'm including as Supplementary Material for my manuscript (over 500 OTUs will do that to you). Once that is done, its off for a final reading of the manuscript to find typos, clean up the other figures, and catch any minor errors that I may have passed over previously. Then, it's off to the collaborators for their review prior to submission.

And then, I get to turn right around and work on the next manuscript. Whee!

"And then, I get to turn right around and work on the next manuscript."That was what I was supposed to do after submitting my last manuscript, but I got sidetracked by the whole Recovery Act stimulus funding stuff. Sigh....

Yah well ... I brought it home this evening and took a read at it again. Not impressed. I need to spend another day revising. Damn introduction, I'm still miffed I lost my first draft of the whole darn thing.

Micro World

(It's a ...)Micro World (... after all) (formerly known as Bio-Fuel!),is a blog dedicated to discussing pretty much whatever I feel like. When I delve into scientific matters it will primarily be discussing microbiology (agricultural, bioenergy, and environmental focus) and astronomy. Otherwise, I'll probably ramble on about sports.

Who is this joker?

Thomas Joseph

Professionally I am a bug hunter (aka microbiologist) and a gene jockey (aka molecular biologist). I started my career as a med tech, but now I'm a research scientist who studies environmental microbiology. When I'm not answering scientific questions about the roles that microbes play on climate change and/or water and soil quality, I'm an amateur astronomer and play racquetball. I'm also a sports nut, though my liking of both the NY Metropolitans (baseball) and NY Jets (football) tests my devotion to these sports on a continual basis. Fortunately, I'm also an OU alumnus (PhD, Microbiology) and we usually have a pretty good football team. BoomerSooner!
